Granville-Hennepin Fire honors Arthur Ramey
Volunteer firefighter served for 36 years
By CHARLIE ELLERBROCK cellerbrock@shawmedia.com
Several fire departments across northern Illinois participated in a funeral procession Saturday in Granville honoring Arthur Ramey, who for 36 years was a volunteer with that department before his unexpected death June 9.
Representatives of dozens of police and fire departments paid tribute to the Mark resident.
Ramey died unexpectedly doing what he loved, touring the countryside on his motorcycle on the morning of June 9 in Wisconsin, Fire Chief Neil Buffington of the Granville-Hennepin Fire Protection District said.
Ramey contributed countless hours to training, fundraising, emergency calls and was the engineer and performed maintenance on all equipment, Buffington said.
Ramey was a veteran of the U.S. Army, retired police officer and had recently retired from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

IVCC to host program for new college students
Weeklong session designed to help students prepare for college
contact@shawmedia.com
Enrollment is underway for an Illinois Valley Community College program that delivers a short burst of college knowledge to new or returning students before fall classes start.
The Get Set college readiness program begins July 29. The course is open to newly minted high school grads or adults turning or returning to college and it’s free to participants.
Students practice test taking, note taking and time management strategies, make sense of textbooks, class formats and the college environment, and learn how to develop good habits and harness diverse learning styles to succeed academically and socially.
Students also log in and practice campus technology platforms such as Brightspace teaching/learning hub and ECampus textbook hub before most of their peers do.
The weeklong Get Set fall session runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 29 to Aug. 2.
In-person attendance is required at all five class sessions.
The class will meet on Friday, Aug. 2, but the college is not in session that day. For information and signup forms, visit ivcc.edu/readysetgo.
Coordinator Tina Hardy said the program helps students feel ready and confident to start the semester at a
time when they might find college socially and academically overwhelming. Some students don’t realize that expectations are different in college.
For perhaps the first time in their lives, students are expected to be independent learners, manage their time and complete tasks.
Technology and support networks are different, Hardy said, and students must seek out new resources.
In all, 57 students from throughout the district have participated since the program began. Once the classroom portion ends, students are assigned to mentors who guide and encourage
them for the rest of the semester.
Some of those mentors are Get Set graduates. Creating relationships and connections is key to boosting students’ confidence and encouraging involvement on campus, Hardy said. For information about the program, email Hardy at tina_hardy@ivcc.edu.

Get Set helps take the guesswork out of college for students who might be nervous about taking this important next step. Graduates feel ready and confident to start the semester. The program’s support continues after the classroom segment when students are assigned mentors for the semester.
Granville American Legion presents Blue Star banner
Blue Star banners are service flags that date back to World War I, World War II
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
Granville American Legion Post 180 Commander Ron Bluemer presented a Blue Star banner on June 15 to Nancy Thompson.
The recognition was offered by the post to honor her grandson, 2nd Lt. Ken Snell, who graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in international finance. He is in training
with other officers at the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia.
The Blue Star banners are a tradition that goes back to service flags in World War I and World War II. They were intended for display by parents and relatives in recognition of any family members in the U.S. armed forces. Service banners were widely seen in those conflicts. They became popular again after 9/11.
Today, Post 180 continues that tradition to honor the men and women from Granville Township serving in defense of their country. If there are other relatives of family members in the armed forces, they can contact the post commander, Ron Bluemer, at 134 Cleveland Circle, Granville, or call 815-339-1082 to receive a free banner.

CreatiVets Color Run to return to Marshall-Putnam Fair
Support those who served in military at July 16 event
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
The Marshall-Putnam Fair announced chapter 2 of the CreatiVets Color Run.
The event is to help support CreatiVets, an organization that uses various forms of art, including songwriting, visual arts, music and creative writing, to help disabled veterans cope with service-related trauma by fostering self-expression in a way that allows them to transform their stories of trauma and struggle into an art form that can inspire and motivate continued healing.
Richard Casper, co-founder and executive director of CreatiVets, grew up in Washburn. After graduating from high school, Casper joined the U.S. Marines. While on a tour in Iraq, he survived four improvised explosive device blasts that left him with a brain injury.
He also witnessed the death of his friend that caused him to suffer from post-traumatic stress. After almost giving up, he discovered that art and
songwriting were therapeutic and while attending the Art Institute of Chicago he began to develop the idea of CreatiVets.
At 6 p.m. July 16, the Marshall-Putnam Fairgrounds will host the second annual CreatiVets Color run where children and adults can show their support for those who served.
The Color Run consists of participants running or walking a course and ending the race covered in multiple different colors to raise awareness for the cause. Participants should wear white or light-colored clothing to experience the full effect of the nontoxic colored powder used to douse the participants from head to toe. There is a $15 entry fee to participate. All proceeds of the event will be given to CreatiVets.
Entry forms can be found on the M-P Fair website at www.marshallputnamfair.org or at the Fair Office, 915 University Ave., Henry. Entries received by July 1 will be guaranteed a M-P Fair CreatiVets Color Run T-shirt. Henry Post 323, Bradford Post 445, Washburn Post 661, Wenona Post 8, Magnolia Post 254 and Toluca Post 440; American Legion Auxiliaries: Peoria Unit 2, Wenona Unit 8 and Wyoming Unit 91; and Marty Gollnitz VFW Post 4999 are supporting the event.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.
Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, throughemployer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.
Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.
Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.
able, long-term regional health care model that our patients can rely on.” OSF said it appreciates the community’s patience and understanding during this period of transition and looks forward to continuing to serve residents with the highest level of care.
That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.
Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones. The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.
Previous dental work can wear out.
Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2
Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.
Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $222 for a checkup ... $190 for a filling ... $1,213 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

New Illinois act to give incentive to taxpayers who donate to endowments
Program is expected to begin Jan. 1, benefit SRCCF
By BILL FRESKOS bfreskos@shawmedia.com
The Illinois Gives Tax Credit Act is an initiative that offers all taxpayers a 25% state income tax credit for donations they make to permanent endowment funds managed by community foundations, including the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation.
Local community foundations are working toward accreditation to participate in this program once the requirements are established. With the opportunity, SRCCF plans to pool and invest donations into designed or previously existing endowment funds that will support causes such as education, scholarships and economic development in the area.
Sally M. Van Cura, donor engagement officer for SRCCF, said this program could benefit the Illinois Valley community in more ways than one. She emphasized that the beauty of the program is taxpayers get to choose which cause their money goes to with the incentive of receiving tax credit for the year.
“Illinois Gives offers a significant opportunity for state taxpayers to ben-
“To
efit from substantial tax credit relief while supporting causes close to their heart,” Van Cura said.
Currently, neither state nor federal governments offer a universal charitable tax credit program. In the past, the federal government offered a similar program, but it was shut down with 2017 tax cuts. According to a news release from SRCCF, about 10% of Illinois taxpayers who itemize their federal taxes can benefit from a charitable tax deduction.
Van Cura also explained that this act will support more than 60,000 nonprofit organizations throughout Illinois, while employing more than 11% of the state’s workforce.
“In enacting Illinois Gives, the state of Illinois recognizes that nonprofit businesses, which collectively employ 11% of our workforce, are vital contributors to our economy,” Forefront CEO Monique B. Jones said in a news release.
Forefront is Illinois’ statewide association for operating nonprofits and foundations and is a key part in getting this program off the ground.
The Illinois Gives Tax Credit program will begin Jan. 1 and run until early 2030, giving taxpayers five years of tax credit while donating to causes they are passionate about.
“This will not only help people today,” Van Cura said, “but this program will help people for years to come.”

How exercise builds a stronger heart
The benefits of physical activity are well-documented. Adults may be reminded of the short- and long-term benefits of exercise when visiting their physicians for annual well visits or to treat an illness. Though exercise is often viewed as a means to losing weight, it’s equally important for people of all ages to recognize the many other ways physical activity benefits the body, including its role in heart health.
The World Health Organization reports that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death across the globe. A host of variables can lead to a CVD diagnosis, and a sedentary lifestyle is among them. By including exercise in their daily routines, individuals can build a stronger heart that benefits their bodies in myriad ways.
EXERCISE,
THE HEART AND LUNG FUNCTION
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute notes that regular moderateand vigorous-intensity physical activity strengthens the heart muscle. A stronger heart is more capable of pumping blood to the lungs, which the NHLBI
notes ensures a stronger blood flow to the muscles.
EXERCISE AND BLOOD OXYGEN LEVELS
Exercise helps to increase oxygen levels in the blood by improving the ability of the heart to pump blood not only to the lungs, but throughout the body. That’s a notable benefit, as the Cleveland Clinic notes hypoxia, a condition marked by low blood oxygen levels, can lead to adverse health conditions, such as damage to individual organ systems, including the brain.
EXERCISE AND CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Coronary heart disease is a condition marked by the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which the NHLBI notes supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood. Moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity has been linked to a lower risk for coronary heart disease because it can help people lower their blood pressure; reduce a type of fat in the blood known as triglycerides; increase “good” cholesterol levels; help the body manage its blood sugar and insulin levels; and re-
duce levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is a sign of inflammation associated with a higher risk of heart disease. These are just a handful of the ways that exercise can help individuals build a stronger heart. Individuals who have already been diagnosed with heart disease and have lived a largely sedentary lifestyle are urged to speak with their physicians about safe ways
to incorporate exercise into their daily routines. Vigorous aerobic activity may not be safe for people who have heart disease, so anyone in that situation should not simply begin exercising on their own.
A healthy heart is a building block of a long life. More information about exercise and heart health can be found at nhlbi.nih.gov. HM247083
HEALTH MATTERS
What to know about pinched nerves
Few medical conditions can be as uncomfortable as radiculopathy, commonly referred to as a pinched nerve. Anyone can suffer from a pinched nerve, which is why it behooves people from all walks of life to understand this painful yet often preventable condition.
WHAT IS A PINCHED NERVE?
The medical experts at Cedars Sinai note that the spine is made up of bones called vertebrae. The spinal cord runs downward through the center of these bones, and nerve roots branch off the cord and go between each vertebra. A pinched nerve occurs when problems affect those nerve roots.
WHERE DO PINCHED NERVES OCCUR?
Cedars Sinai notes that a pinched nerve is most likely to occur in the lower back. However, pinched nerves can affect other areas of the body, including the neck, arms and legs.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A PINCHED NERVE?
People who have experienced radiculopathy may identify pain as the most notable symptom of a pinched nerve.
Cedars Sinai notes such pain may manifest in different ways depending on which part of the body is affected. Pain-related signs of a pinched nerve in the lower back include:
• Sharp pain in the back that may travel down to the feet
• Pain that worsens when sitting or coughing
A pinched nerve in the neck may produce:
• Sharp pain in the arm
• Pain in the shoulder
• Feelings of numbers or pins and needles in the arm
• Worsening pain when the neck moves or the head turns
Additional symptoms of a pinched nerve include numbness of the skin and weakness in the leg or arm.
ARE THERE RISK FACTORS FOR PINCHED NERVES?
Though anyone can experience a pinched nerve, various conditions can increase a person’s risk for radiculopathy. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
• Poor posture
• Poor body position: Crossing the legs when seated can pressure the
spine and increase risk for a pinched nerve

How routine physical activity affects mental health
The physical changes people experience after committing to routine physical activity are visible to the naked eye. After making such a commitment, particularly if one is accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle, people may shed a noticeable amount of weight, move more quickly and even appear younger, a change that is perhaps related to the positive effects exercise has on sleep.
Less noticeable but no less advantageous are the mental health benefits associated with routine exercise. According to the Mental Health Foundation, physical activity releases chemicals in the brain that positively affect mood, thus making exercise a tool anyone can utilize to improve their mental health. As individuals ponder the benefits of physical activity, they can keep the following ways exercise affects mental health in mind.
• Exercise and stress reduction: A 2022 Gallup poll found that 40 percent of adults worldwide experienced a lot of stress. The poll asked adults in 142 countries and areas, which underscores the significance of stress as a legitimate global health concern. The
MHF notes that the most common physical signs of stress include difficulty sleeping, sweating and loss of appetite, symptoms that are triggered by a flood of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline released in the body. Those hormones increase blood pressure and heart rate. Exercise can help to alleviate stress, and the MHF notes that adults who are highly active have been found to have lower rates of stress than those who live more sedentary lifestyles.
• Exercise and self-esteem: A 2022 study published in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness compared 352 participants between the ages of 20 and 40 who regularly exercised at least two days per week for the previous six months with 350 similarly aged sedentary individuals. The study assessed various characteristics of each group and researchers ultimately concluded that those who exercised had higher levels of self-esteem than those who did not. As a result, the authors behind the study recommended exercise as a preferred method to increase self-esteem.
• Exercise and depression: A system-
atic review and network meta-analysis of randomized control trials found that exercise is an effective treatment for depression. That review and analysis, published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The BMJ in 2024, reviewed 218 unique studies involving more than 14,000 participants. Walking, jogging, yoga, and strength training were found to be especially
effective at treating depression, which the World Health Organization estimates affects about 280 million people worldwide.
The physical benefits of routine physical activity may be most noticeable. However, regular exercise also has a profound effect on individuals’ mental health.

HEALTH MATTERS
What to know about heatstroke
Fun in the sun is a big part of the appeal of summer. Outdoor recreation and relaxation kicks up a notch each summer, contributing to a vibe that is as welcoming as it is warm.
Summer is indeed all about recreation, but individuals also must remain safe when spending time outdoors. Heatstroke is a potentially deadly condition that can be prevented with some basic knowledge of what it is and how it manifests.
WHAT IS HEATSTROKE?
The Mayo Clinic notes that heatstroke is caused by the body overheating. When individuals suffer heatstroke, it is usually because they have been exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time or have been physically exerting themselves in such conditions.
HOW SERIOUS IS HEATSTROKE?
The medical examiner’s office in Maricopa County, Arizona noted that heat deaths surged by 50 percent in the city of Phoenix in 2023. Rising temperatures related to climate change have made it less safe to be outdoors on certain days. The risk for heat-related death is serious in places like Phoenix when the mercury rises, but anyone anywhere can succumb to the heat if they are not careful. By no means are deaths due to heatstroke or other heat-related illnesses exclusive to individuals in traditionally warm locales like Phoenix. Despite that vulnerability, various organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, note that heat-related illnesses are preventable. Prevention involves recognition of symptoms prior to going outdoors and a willingness to go inside should any symptoms begin to arise.
SYMPTOMS
OF HEATSTROKE
Heatstroke can manifest in various ways, producing symptoms that may include:
• Elevated body temperature: The Mayo Clinic notes that a core body temperature of 104 F or higher is a main sign of heatstroke.
• Altered mental state: Someone suffering from heatstroke may begin to feel confused, agitated, irritable, and/ or delirious. In addition, such individuals may begin to behave erratically, which can involve slurred speech.
• Changes in sweating patterns: People may begin to sweat differently depending on why they are suffering from heatstroke. When heatstroke is brought on by hot weather, a person’s skin will feel hot and dry to the touch, notably leading to a lack of sweat. When heatstroke occurs because of strenuous exercise in hot weather, the skin may feel dry and slightly moist.
• Nausea and vomiting: Heatstroke can make people feel sick to their stomach and even induce vomiting.
• Flushed skin: This recognizable symptom is marked by skin turning red as body temperature spikes.
• Changes in breathing: Heatstroke can cause rapid, shallow breathing.
• Elevated heart rate: The Harvard Medical School notes that the heart experiences stress when the human body sheds heat. That stress can cause the heart to beat faster and pump harder.
• Headache: Some people with heatstroke experience a throbbing headache.
PREVENTING HEATSTROKE
The CDC notes that drinking plenty of water, cooling off in air conditioned rooms, limiting time outdoors
on particularly hot days, taking frequent breaks if you must be outside, and wearing light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher are some ways to beat the heat and avoid heatstroke.
Heatstroke is a notable, yet preventable threat. Making an effort to avoid heatstroke while spending time outdoors this summer can ensure the season is safe and fun. TF247135
Just like with your muscles, the neurons that help us hear are “use it or lose it!” You will get better benefit from your hearing aids if you get them sooner. This way, your brain won’t forget how to process sounds.
Treating you hearing loss has correlations with positive brain functions including memory health and attention.
Untreated hearing loss is correlated with higher rates of depression , anxiety, social isolation and withdrawal, cognitive decline, and overall lower quality of life.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL
Currie, Illinois All-Stars play at Busch
PC grad plays after Cardinals game Sunday
By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com
Nicholas Currie always dreamed about playing in a Major League Baseball stadium one day.
He got his chance Sunday.
The Princeton Post 125 player from Putnam County was selected to play for Team Illinois against Missouri in a battle of American Legion All-Stars on Sunday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis following the Cardinals-Giants game.
Princeton Post 125 manager Dave Camp initially nominated seven of his players and Currie, a 2023 graduate of Putnam County High School, was selected.
“It was a beautiful surprise after a nice win with the team out at the Kewanee tournament,” Currie said of learning the news. “When you’re little, you’re always dreaming about being one of those guys down there playing underneath the lights and being out on the big boys field. To be able to live out that dream now at Busch Stadium, it’s going to be an amazing experience for sure.
“The best thing about it is going down to represent the Princeton
American Legion, the state of Illinois and playing for all my teammates down there and show them what we’re made of.”
A White Sox fan, Currie likes the Cardinals home at Busch Stadium.
“I just went down to a Cardinals game a couple weeks ago with some of my friends from college. It’s an amaz-
ing stadium. So it’s going to be an amazing feeling to be on the field playing,” he said.
Currie said playing for the Post 125 team is pretty much like having an Illinois Valley All-Star team.
“We’ve got all the best guys from L-P, Bureau Valley, Princeton, Putnam County, St. Bede and Hall. Dave really
put together an amazing team this year,” Currie said. “I’m really excited to see what we’re going to be able to do going forward, especially heading into the district tournament. I think if we can get all our guys there and play as a team, I think we can do some amazing things for the Princeton Legion.”
The district tournament will run July 25-28 in Sherrard.
Currie, who is pitching for the Ground Sloths in the Cornbelters Collegiate League in Normal, red-shirted his freshman season at University of Missouri Science and Technology, a Division 2 school in Rolla, Missouri.
While he is playing as a position player and pitching for Post 125, he will pitch strictly for the Miners, who finished with a 27-22 record this spring.
“It was a pretty amazing experience coming from Putnam County, a small town, and being able to go down to a four-year university,” he said. “Just the way everybody accepts everybody down there. You’re pretty much moving to a new family down there, the way everybody picks each other up. It feels really good to be a part of an amazing ball club.
“We just missed making the (Great Lakes Valley) conference tournament, which was kind of a bummer. Hopefully, next year we can go out and make a difference down there.”
Princeton Post 125 builds strong roster of area all-stars
By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com
If you want to know what an AllStar baseball team from the Illinois Valley would look like, come out and watch the Princeton Post 125 18U American Legion play ball.
Princeton manager Dave Camp has assembled a cast of the best high school players from Princeton, Bureau Valley, Hall, La Salle-Peru, St. Bede and Putnam County.
It’s a regular Who’s Who of Illinois Valley baseball.
“I am really excited about this team,” Camp said. “We are deep in pitching and most of the players batted third or higher in the order for their school. I have multiple first-team
all-conference players and just a great bunch of athletes.
“They come to play every day and are having a ball doing it. I’m just a steppingstone to keep these kids active for their future of playing college ball, but also there to get the younger kids more reps at the plate or more innings pitching. Some of their coaches ask me to have them work on certain parts of their game and I try to help them with that.”
Camp said the hardest part of his job will be having to trim the roster down to 18 by next week.
There are eight players from Princeton, including Nolan Kloepping, Jimmy Starkey, Luke Smith and Jace Stuckey from this year’s Tigers varsity team along with Cayden Benavi -
dez, Wyatt Hanson, Ryan Jagers and Zeke Klingenberg. Starkey, however, has not been cleared to play from a knee injury.
Nicholas Currie, a 2023 Putnam County graduate, is the only active college player, redshirting his freshman year at Missouri Science and Technology.
PC also is represented by Peyton Barto and Carter Hochstatter.
Bureau Valley sends three players in Elijah Endress, Bryce Helms and Brock Rediger.
LaSalle-Peru sends a fivesome of Seth Adams, Brendan Boudreau, Kyle Rios, Jackson Piecha and Nolan VanDuzer from its varsity team this spring.
The Hall Red Devils are represented by Jack Jablonski. St. Bede
sends Nathan Husser. Both were firstteam Three Rivers East All-Conference players.
Post 125 is off to a 6-2 start, winning its first two games in the Nolan Keane Tournament over the weekend before falling in the championship game to the Canton Crunchers.
They beat GWBC 12-0 at Sterling on Wednesday.
The Princeton Legion has “home” games scheduled for either Granville or Hennepin at 5:30 p.m. July 16 and 11 a.m. July 20.
The season winds down with the District Tournament from July 24-28 at Sherrard High School.
“I really expect us to compete this year for the district championship,” Camp said.

Shrimp closing in on first half division title
Illinois Valley having success in close games, several Shrimp players among league leaders
By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com
The Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp are in position to win the Prospect League’s Northwest Division first half title to lock in a playoff berth.
Through Friday’s action, the Shrimp lead the division at 14-7 with the Clinton LumberKings in second place at 11-7.
The Pistol Shrimp have five games left before the first half of the season ends June 29.
The Shrimp play the LumberKings at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday at Schweickert Stadium in Peru before hitting the road for a three-game set at the Johnstown Mill Rats.
Illinois Valley is 2-2 against the LumberKings this season. Through Friday, the Mill Rats are 10-11 and in third place in the Northeast Division.
The Shrimp finish the first half Saturday at the Lafayette Aviators. The Shrimp are 2-0 against the Aviators this season, winning by a combined score of 32-1.
In the playoffs, the first half division winner hosts the second half winner in a one game division championship.
The two division winners in each conference then face off in a one game conference championship.
The two conference champions play in a three-game Prospect League championship series.
WINNING THE CLOSE ONES
The Pistol Shrimp are in a strong position in part due to their success in close games.
Illinois Valley is 6-2 in one-run games and 2-1 in extra inning games.
The Pistol Shrimp have three walkoff wins on the season while only losing one via walk-off.
On June 5, Tyler Dorsch blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Shrimp an 8-7 win over the Burlington Bees.
Just two days later, Jake Ferguson delivered a walk-off single in an 11-10 victory over the Clinton LumberKings.
Pambos Nicoloudes came through with a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth for a 12-11 walk-off win over the Bees on June 19.
The Shrimp also scored three runs in the top of the ninth to edge the Normal
CornBelters 10-9 on the road May 29.
AMONG THE BEST
Several Pistol Shrimp players are among the league’s statistical leaders.
Through Friday, Dorsch led the league in RBIs with 26 with teammate Makana Olaso just behind him with 25.
Kyle Gibson leads the league in runs with 30 with Dorsch second on the list with 22.
Dorsch also is tied for fourth in the league in home runs (3) and doubles (7), while Gibson ranks seventh in batting average (.380) and is tied for 10th in doubles (6).
Grant Holderfield is tied for the league lead with three wins on the mound, ranks fourth in ERA at 1.96, is tied for sixth in strikeouts with 24 and ranks fifth in strikeouts per nine innings at 9.39.
David Andolina is tied for ninth in strikeouts with 23.
LOCAL TALENT CONTRIBUTING
Several local players have been key contributors for the Shrimp this summer.
Since joining the team after helping
Southeast Missouri State reach an NCAA Regional, Hall graduate and Spring Valley native Chance Resetich is hitting .283 with one home run, one double, four runs and three RBIs in six games. He’s in his third season playing for the Shrimp.
Ottawa natives Jared Herzog, Taylor Waldron and Payton Knoll have all logged innings on the mound.
In his third season with the Shrimp, Herzog has made five appearances and two starts. He’s 2-0 with a 0.78 ERA and
the
21 strikeouts to six walks in 11⅓innings. Waldron has made four appearances with two starts, recording a 0.00 ERA, 22 strikeouts and one walk in 15⅓ innings.
Knoll has pitched 22/3 innings in two appearances.
Newark native Joseph Martin has started four games. He has a 3.00 ERA with 17 strikeouts and 10 walks in 15 innings.
Peru native Johnny Riva has thrown an inning in two appearances.
